Samples

Does Matahari lotions come in samples also I have been wanting to try thier entire line but I would like samples of each product.

Yes thier line comes in sample packets!

I sell a ton of them on packet promotional days and it is one of my best selling lines

Well I guess I wont be trying this line. I asked the salon I go to to order me a sample of dark sexy tan but they dont place orders for samples of products that they dont carry. And Im not going to order a bottle because I am not the biggest fan of Cal-tan products so... Ill stick to my gilmra for right now.

And they wonder why people order lotion online.

if your salon wont order it for you call another salon in your area I am sure they will be glad to help you out

If a customer asked me to order something for them I would do it right away with no questions. I can't believe they wouldn't! Even if it is a bottle you don't normally carry, it is still a sell.

My salon won't order things either. And do you really think someone is going to call a salon they don't tan at and ask them to order them a lotion that the salon doesn't carry? No, I don't think so. Not to mention that salon probabaly doesn't want to order a lotion for someone that isn't a tanning customer.

If I didn't order my own lotions I be stuck using crap sold in the salon. They carry very little, only a handfull of bottles in the salon. I've been there for close to 3 years, tanning 3-4 times a week and I've never, ever heard even one employee ask someone if they wanted lotion. They tried to sell some private label crap a couple years ago. Most if it's still sitting in the salon today. And no, it's not more product, it's 2 year old stuff. I know, I asked how it sold. They said it didn't.

I always order things in for clients. If you don't have something they want, they will find it elsewhere. I have had many people come in to just buy lotion as they tan somewhere else with no selection...good for me but not their salon and quite often we convince these people to tan with us as well.

We sell and even order lotions for several "outsiders". I am amazed at how some of the salons are completely missing the boat on lotion use. Not good for sales, but more importantly, not providing a good selection for the varying needs of their customers.

One girl lives in a larger city about 110 miles from me, but this is her home town so she is here often. The salon she goes to won't order lotions for her either. I told her as long as she buys from me I will always give her an additional discount. About every 4 or 5 weeks she comes in looking for something new. Love it!
